Java is really good for rapidly prototyping stuff.
>>107012967No-coder here. Is Java still being used? Wasn't it discontinued, or am I misremembering and confusing it with Flash?
>>107012967Java is just really good in general. Yes you can still get stuck in AbstractObjectFactoryBean hell, but ever since they started adding functional stuff it's been pretty easy to avoid that kind of nonsense.
>>107012967try python
>>107013033No you're not misremembering anything, Java use to be a plugin that ran RuneScape and Minecraft on a browser. It went the way of flash in favour of HTML5. However, Java lives on as basically an alternative to native .exe files as .jar files. The benefit is; it's not as verbose as C++ but still very powerful and runs pretty fast. (faster than python but slower than C++). With C++, a single coding mistake can take down your entire program or break it a way that makes no sense. Java is a lot safer and is much easier to write than C++ as well.
>>107013462Thanks for the detailed answer, it's coming back to me now.
